Some people who have seen the movie have been curious to try the current vintages of the wines that caught the golden apple in Stephen Spurrier’s 1976 tasting. In our never-ending desire to serve our public, we are pleased to offer:

  • 2006 Ch. Montelena Chardonnay $44.99
  • 2005 Stags Leap Cabernet Sauvignon Artemis $58.99
